Chapter 12 Breaking off the Engagement at any Time

Catalina scribbled down her name on the agreement.

After finishing writing, she stood up, handed it to Bennett, and said with a little smile," Welcome Mr. Shaffer to break off the engagement at any time."

Bennett, who always wore a stern face, suddenly put on a long face.

He took the agreement, threw it to Ralph Clark and said with an extremely cold voice, "Ralph, I won't treat a newcomer who doesn't know the rules of Shaffer Family so hard. However, you still made such a stupid mistake though you have worked for me for so many years. Don't you think you should be punished?"

Every word of Bennett, rhythmic and forceful, resounded like a sentence and was full of pressure and horror.

Ralph lowered his head and cold sweat oozed from his forehead, "Yes, Mr. Shaffer, it's my mistake to think carelessly about this matter. I admit my mistake and accept any punishment. I dare not utter a word o complaint."

"Report to the sandy land in Dodgeby tomorrow. Never come back without my consent!"

"Yes, sir!"

At this moment, Bennett was the king who had the power of granting life or death, and Ralph could only plead guilty without a struggle.

Catalina frowned.

Was she the so-called ingnorant newcomer that he was talking about?

Was Ralph punished due to her?

"Bennett, I wonder why you punish Ralph like that? Did he do anything wrong?" Catalina built up her courage, stepped forward and asked. Bennett asked back in a cold voice, "You know he did anything wrong, don't you?"

"I apologize to you if it is due to Heaven incident. It has nothing to do with Ralph. I pressed him into helping me."

"Do you think you are qualified to intercede for him?"

"Okay, I won't intercede, but every debt has its debtor. I'm responsible for my own doing. If you have to punish someone, then punish me!" "Mrs. Shaffer, I..."

Catalina stopped him with a gesture.

She raised her head and faced Bennett without fear, "You hate me, don't you? Isn't it just as you want to punish me now?"

Hearing this, Bennett leaned down arrogantly.

He pinched Catalina's jaw with his cold long fingers, as if pinching an ant. "In the Shaffer family, the most stupid thing is to overestimate one's ability and stand out for others! Since you ask for punishment, ther I will grant it to you! Just wait."

After finishing speaking coldly, he cast aside Catalina's little face, straightened up, and strode away.

"Mr. Shaff, I beg forgiveness for this matter, Mrs. Shaff..."

Ralph caught up with him, intending to intercede for Catalina.

"Shut up, otherwise she will be punished more severely!" Bennett's face clouded over.

Ralph had no choice but to stop. He bowed his head, "Yes, Mr. Shaff."

Bennett went away, followed by his personal bodyguards, special assistant and secretary.

Catalina heaved a sigh of relief when the mighty motorcade drove away from Sophora Villa.

The alarm was finally lifted.

She was still in a state of shock, patted her chest, shook his head and sighed, "If such a thing happened agan, I would drop dead sooner or later."

"Mrs. Shaff, I'm so sorry. Thank you for interceding for me, but you really shouldn't have clashed with Mrs. Shaff for me."

"It's okay. This is what I should do. I will feel sad if he punishes you because of me!"

Catalina said and sat down at the dining table again, "I don't know what method Mr. Shaff will take to torment me. I think it's best to directly exile me in Dodgeby. Out of sight, out of mind." "Mrs. Shaff, you are joking, Mr. Shaff won't punish you like this."

"Well, really?"

Catalina rasied her eyebrows and laughed at herself.

This was probably the funniest joke she has ever heard recently.

Catalina thought Bennett wished to kill her so that he could avenge his brother Warren!

On this point, Catalina had the wisdom of knowing herself.

"Okay, let's not talk about him. Have breakfast first."

In fact, Catalina's stomach had already rumbled because of hunger, "Ralph, you rarely cook, but today you cook by yourself. I should live up to such a good meal."

Ralph laughed and said, "Mrs. Shaff, as long as you like, I can cook for you every day from now on."

"No, don't bother. I'm already very satisfied for once in a while."

Although Ralph was the butler of Sophora Villa, he was actually a five-star Michelin chef, but he rarely cooked. Obviously, today he cooked for Bennett.

"Mrs. Shaff, please wait, I will serve meals for you right away."

"Thank you, Ralph."

***

As soon as Catalina sat down in office, Emery poked her head closer to her, "Lina, who the hell was that man last night? Did you go home with him? Do you have an affair with him?" "Watch your tongue."

Catalina pushed Emery's head back, "We met by chance. I have no way of making the acquaintance of such a big figure."

Actually, what Catalina said was the truth. She really had no way of making the acquaintance of such big figure as Bennett.

"That's right. Maybe it's demeaning for such a figure to use us as playthings. Let alone have an affair."

Catalina just smiled, but there was always a doubt in her mind.

Just as Emery said, maybe Bennett would be scornful of an ignoble birth like her even as a plaything. But why did Bennett marry her?

Playing with her and humiliating her?

Apart from this, Catalina couldn't think of any other reasons.

Catalina handed over the video to Emery after she copied the video and covered the image of Darnell Wyatt with mosaics in the original video. "Watch the video and hand it over to the editor-in-chief if there is no problem!"

"OK."

Emery watched the video from beginning to end and was a little worried, "Lina, is this okay? Since we haven't had any substantive content in the video, will it meet the requirement of the editor-in-chief?"

The content of this video started when Darnell forced Catalina to serve the gold master in the room.

The video was short, concise, ending in a hurry without reaching the climax.

And the gold master in the video didn't appear from beginning to end because it was cut by Catalina.

The only protagonist in the video was Mr. Wyatt.

She wasn't to blame for it for that guy bullied her first. She was just tit for tat.

What's more, she kindly put a mosaic on his face!

"It's okay, hand it over! Although there is really no substantive content in the video, at least it can be confirmed that girls are compelled into prostitution in this club. After the news is released, the public security department will investigate the matter. The truth will turn out finally!"

"That's right. I hand the video over to the editor-in-chief right now. But why do you cover the villain with mosaics? Wouldn't it be fun to make his face public?"

Catalina coughed, "Don't worry about these matters, just hand it over to the editor-in-chief."

Fun?

Once Darnell's face was made public, she and Emery would be in trouble all the time.

She didn't think that the Shaffer family and Darnell would let her go easily.

In fact, Catalina was a little nervous about this video for she couldn't predict what she would face once this video was released to the public.

A joint crusade between the family of Shaffer and Wyatt? Or the revenge of Heaven?

Either way, it was enough to drive her to a dead end.

But in the end, she hesitated for only five seconds before copying the video.

She was a journalist.

The duty and obligation of a journalist was to expose the darkness of this world.

When she received the certificate that symbolized her identity, she was no longer eligible to retreat.

On the same day, the video was released to the public as scheduled, causing an uproar.

The heat on the Internet was even more overwhelming.

The manager of the club quickly came out to refute the rumors, but was quickly bombarded by netizens before all social accounts of the club were closed.

In the afternoon, the police came to investigate and the clubhouse was successfully sealed off.

And she and Emery were both offered a full-time job.

Normally, she should consider herself lucky since everything went smoothly in the direction she expected. But as more and more people knew the new, she became upset and her sixth sense told her that this matter would be far from over.
